Open Requests for Help
- No new requests on the mailing list since last week
- StarlingX Support on ARM
- https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-February/013819.html
- Not currently supported on StarlingX, but should be more doable with the move to Debian and the yocto kernel
- ARM Support would definitely require work to support, including build system support
- A few years ago MarkA and Greg did some prototype work on orange-pie
- MarkA responded to the thread: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-February/013841.html
- stx-openstack apply failed after enabling cpu_dedicated_setInbox
- https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-January/013720.html
- https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-January/013724.html
- Seen w/ stx.7.0. Issue only happens when setting cpu dedicated CPUs on a running system. During the unlock, the openstack fails to re-apply.
- LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/2002157
- Assigned to Thales; team has no bandwidth to look at this for the remaining of the month. Will reach out to the reporter to share this.
- Documenting Tested Hardware by the community
- Brought Up by: Scott Kamp
- The StarlingX documentation already has a limited list of certified hardware
- A variety of hardware platform doesn't work with StarlingX.
- This is due to the kernel options that are enabled, especially as it related to the rt kernel
- Standard distributions like Ubuntu has everything enabled
- One approach is to consider a mechanism to swap out the kernel
- This is a big conversation. Requires TSC direction/guidance and likely significant effort/investment.
- Conclusion: Put this as a topic on the PTG. Action: Ildiko
